Hello everyone,
I`m new in this forum , and I`m an absolute beginer in C++ language.
Therefor i already have some major problems in my learning.
My compiler is giving me odd errors eventhough the codes are typed in corectly , exactly as in the book.
Here are some of the errors:
1>.\lines.cpp(3) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'std'
1>.\lines.cpp(3) : error C2873: 'namepsace' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration
1>.\lines.cpp(3) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>.\lines.cpp(3) : error C2365: 'std' : redefinition; previous definition was 'namespace'
1>.\lines.cpp(7) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
1>.\lines.cpp(8) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
1>.\lines.cpp(9) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
1>.\lines.cpp(10) : error C2065: 'cin' : undeclared identifier
1>.\lines.cpp(10) : error C2228: left of '.get' must have class/struct/union
1> type is ''unknown-type''

Since you didn't post any code I can only guess that you failed to include header files and identify the namespace.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
...
...
/blabla
#include<stdafx.h>
#include<iostream>
using namepsace std;

int main()
{
	cout<<"I am Blaxxxon/n";
	cout<<"The godlike computer/n";
	cout<<"Fear me!!!/n";
	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

Thoes were the codes.I can`t see any mistake.I am still confused with the errors.I must reinstall the compiler?

what compiler and version of compiler are you using? The first header file, stdafx.h, is for Microsoft compilers, and should be surrounded with quotes, not angle brackets #include "stdafx.h"

Well , I`m using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 express edition.
I`ve tried to replace the brackets with " but still the same errors.
The odd thing is that some programs worked but some didn`t.
All the programs were simple codes for beginers like the one i`ve showed you.
If I`m doing mistakes sorry but I`m still practising English.
And one more thing , I`m using windows vista home edition.Has that something to do with my compiler eficiency?

Leave #include<stdafx.h> out.
Btw:
Computers are not god.
Computers should not be feared.
Use another learn C++ book.

Oh I see now -- the problem is that you misspelled "namespace".

>>If I`m doing mistakes sorry but I`m still practising English.
Your English is pretty good -- you are doing a good job at it :)
